2. Instragram
Instragram has become the rising star of social media and in the short time since it was purchased by Facebook it has managed to attract a decent amount of active users (over 100 million to be more exact). You might ask me why I chose to talk about Instagram and not Facebook, but the reasons are obvious. According to guestpostshop.com Instagram is one of the most powerful brand promoters, which uses visual techniques to attract followers.
In addition to the beautiful photos which you can customize (with the help of the various effects like Brannan or Lo-Fi), this social network has also recently added an option for uploading and editing 15 seconds videos. This feature is essential for businesses which want to show sneak-peaks of their products or a behind-the-scenes view of their company. Last but not least you can also create contests or scavenger hunts to increase your online presence.
3. Pinterest
Pinterest is one of my favorite social media platforms, and this is probably also the reason why I have chosen to talk about it so much in the best. According to recent studies it is the best place for businesses to showcase their products. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of pinners are women between the age of 35-45 years who love shopping.
Many social media experts have said that pins which include price tags and sources are more likely to be repined or liked. From the marketer’s perspective, Pinterest is easy to use, accessible and visually delicious. As far as SEO is concerned, every pin can create a link back to your website. Nevertheless, you will have to approach your Pinterest strategy carefully, as it should not be all about your brand. The whole idea is to be sociable, to create a loyal community, and to curate as many interesting and relevant boards as you can.

When a new company or person starts a Twitter, Instagram, or Google account, many are confused about the use and meaning of the “hashtags.” One of the most frequently asked questions I get when I work with companies with no social media background is about hash-tags.
Hi Samuel,
Honestly I don’t have any experience on this platform too.
Hey Okto, nice summary of social media platforms. I concentrate mainly on Google + and Twitter. But I realise I have to get more into Pinterest. I guess I should read some of your other posts for more info?
Hi Ashley,
I guess we won’t have enough time to cope with all social media platform. Pinterest is good if we have a lot of quality images (or infographics) to share. Doing so we can easily generate huge and instant traffic. I’d be more than happy to see you around here often 🙂

HI Okto
Well I must say that Google+ is the best social media among these 3 networks. But I was wondering that Why don’t you listed Facebook in this list.
Facebook has the more power than Google+ in terms of delivering high traffic. Quora is also a great network where we can target our readers and can drive them to our websites.
BTW Thanks for sharing it with us. 😀
Hi Lisa,
well thanks to Anna who give this wonderful post about social networks. Yes I do agree that facebook is the best delivering traffic to our blog.
